I believe that education should be adaptive to the culture of the nation, even specific area or region where it is to be delivered, adaptive to the individual and his/her environment as well as the needs of the time. It does happen for example in my country,Argentina, that education is sometimes purpose driven,given to children in agricultural villages or small towns, whereas in big cities, such as Buenos Aires, it tends to be more generic with some sort of major (2 or 3 to choose from). In both cases,however, as in many other parts of the country, there is a lack of focus on some sort of connection with one´s body for example, be it through dance or some sort of physical expression, other than gym classes. I agree with the belief that being connected with one´s being is essential for interaction with other human beings.As Sir Ken Robinson states, there are other subjects-such as dance or music- which are considered less relevant than others but that have nowadays been proven to be important for a person´s development. Many of the forms of learning mentioned are –in my opinion-useful and adaptive to this purpose and at the same time incomplete for it and a little outdated unless they can adapt to the current age. On the one hand ,for example, Behaviourism can help to change people´s attitudes, Humanism, on the other hand, seems appropriate for the inner quest that current philosophers state that is needed for a change in the world. Most of them, however, if not all, having being established with a train of thought in which the western world was founded, that of the Metaphysical Philosophers (Aristotle,Socrates and Plato) which has ultimately lead us to where we are in the world, fall under the same scope of vision. As a result, a change in our philosophical foundations would be needed in order to establish new forms of learning based on a different philosophical perspective based on the likes such as Heidegger ,Nitsche and Wittgenstein.
